Court papers show Judge Mike K. Nakagawa of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas denied creditors Mali and Ronen Nachum’s “emergency request” for him to immediately consider wresting control of Beso LLC away from an investor group that includes Longoria and handing it to an independent bankruptcy trustee.

On Friday, Beso’s bankruptcy attorneys filed court papers opposing a quick court date and indicating they’d file a more detailed objection to the remedy sought by the Nachums, who invested in Beso along with Longoria and others.

According to Vegas Inc., the Nachums say a trustee should investigate the recently announced closure of the Eve nightclub that’s adjacent to Beso, where celebrities like Busta Rhymes and Sean “Diddy” Combs have partied. But Beso’s attorneys asked, where’s the fire? They said the club’s closure was appropriate because of its currently negative cash flow and pointed out that the company is still running a successful restaurant. It’s keeping up with court requirements that it file monthly operating reports, they said, and the company is now negotiating a restructuring plan with such key creditors as its landlord, Crystals at MGM’s City Center development.

“The fact is that counsel’s denominating a motion an emergency does not make it an emergency,” Beso’s attorneys wrote. Looks like the judge agreed. But will he agree with the Nachums that a trustee is necessary? Stay tuned to Bankruptcy Beat.
